There's always a shortage of cards for the male market which don't involve beer, sport or smutty humour. Cars are always popular, and this range from Hot Rod Showcase, featuring some classic British hot rods, provides a very different take on the subject. Three new birthday cards (SOV007-SOV009) have been added to the range in July 2009. All cards are 160x160mm, blank inside for the sender's own message and printed in the UK on FSC-accredited board using an aqueous varnish to allow recycling. They are then close-wrapped with a gunmetal envelope. Packed in 6s. RSP £2.25-£2.50.
In addition, every card features on the back a brief description of the vehicle together with additional shots and a link to the main Hot Rod Showcase website where there is more detailed information about the vehicle's history and technical specifications, and yet more photographs. Here's a sample of a card showing back as well as front:
